5 Ways to pray better

Discernment is perception in the absence of judgment with a view to obtaining spiritual direction and understanding. It is important to have discernment and in this article author teach us how to have a better discernment though prayer.

The first of all is to “ask God”. There surly are something we cannot achieve by our own strenuous effort. The ability of a person is limited which we must admit. Just like myself, sometimes I truly feel that I cannot complete something. We need to ask by faith. God is eager to give us faith. Then, we need “slow down and notice things”. Not only to have discernment need, but also we need think and check in study and  daily life. This article provides me some excellent techniques to make us slow down, to become more prayerful. We can try to savor each bit instead of gobbling down food; stroll leisurely instead of rushing down the sidewalk. Give ourselves a part of time to notice the world, isn’t it a wonderful thing? I should do my homework soon after school that I can enjoy the rest of time, but not indulge novels and rashly finish it. One action exceeds a thousand words, so now “begin to pray”. We must make time for prayer by making time for it in our day just as we schedule other important activities. Morning is a good time of the day works best. But whether the time you choose, prayer must be a priority for you. After we begin the pray, we will meet many difficulties. At this time, we should “seek help” from the prayers, other people or other responsible resources. This article gives us some example of these spiritual directors. The final one is “experiment”. Practice helps us become a better person. And only practice that can help us know which  way is the fittest way for us to pray to discern the God.
